Fishing Is Safer with DC Electric Reel Systems

L

arge DC-powered electric fishing reel systems are often dangerously connected to a 12V battery or plugged into a non-marine-grade receptacle. A safer alternative is the Electric Fishing Reel Device from Hubbell Marine. The 30A 28V DC device has a unique configuration that ensures it can’t accidentally be plugged into an AC power supply that would create a dangerous scenario.

The Electric Fishing Reel Device includes a locking plug, female connector and weatherproof plate to keep water out and electricity safely flowing. UL-listed and CSA certified, the device incorporates anti-corrosive nickel-plated contacts and stainless steel hardware for long-term use. All parts are constructed from UV-stabilized nylon for a longer life in the harsh marine environment.

Offered in high-visibility yellow, the system is easily detected, even in adverse conditions. It features Hubbell’s compact Twist-Lock® design to minimize accidental disengagement or loss of power from stress on the cord, typical vessel vibration or from being bumped.

For exposed installation locations, an optional Hubbell outlet box and weatherproof spring-loaded lift cover safeguard against water ingress.

Hubbell Marine’s Electric Fishing Reel Devices have a starting price of $44.

7 Best Boating and Fishing Gifts for Dad

W

hether your special boating dad is into fishing with the kids, highenergy watersports, or enjoys relaxing afternoons spent day cruising, we can guarantee one thing: he loves getting boating goodies. Of course, there are many different boating gear and equipment out there, and you may need help figuring out the best gift for Father’s Day, his birthday, or another holiday.

Here are seven boating and fishing gift ideas for Dad that will help you narrow your selection.

The Top Father’s Day Boating Gifts 1. Safety Gear - Nothing says “we love you,” like giving someone a present that could one day possibly save their life. In this day and age, there are many safety items to choose from: • You could get him a satellite messenger, which allows for emergency communications from just about anywhere on the face of the planet. Some even feature remote texting via satellite, so he can touch base with you from the boat even when out of cell range.

• Another great pick might be a new life jacket or personal floatation device (PFD) that’s so comfortable that he doesn’t mind wearing it. Between inflatable models, new form-fitting life jackets, and cold-weather float coats, you should have no problem finding one that’s ideal for him.

• Or, a remote monitoring system that lets him check the boat’s bilge water levels, battery

charge state, and GPS location would give your Dad some peace of mind.

2. Fishing Tackle - It’s a sure bet that if the father you’re gifting is an angler, he already has a stack of rods, reels, and fishing tackle. But it’s just as sure a bet that he’d like more! Take a virtual stroll through Fishing Gear, Tackle, and Equipment to get ideas for the perfect gift.

3. Water Sports Gear - Whether wakesurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, or kneeboarding is Dad’s favorite gig, his spirits are bound to be buoyed by new watersports gear. But if your father is into watersports, this may be an opportunity to expand the family’s horizons by adding some new excitement to the mix. Whatever the sport of choice, getting a tow-tube can be fun for everyone and makes for more mellow watersports action after the hard-core rides are over.

4. Boat Parts - Did Dad recently come home from the boat with a grimace, thanks to a broken boat part? It’s up to you to turn that frown upside-down. We want to note that in this case, getting the correct specific part is imperative—the ideal propeller for boat A is not necessarily the ideal propeller for Boat B, and whether you’re looking to fix a ripped Bimini top or a cracked cooler seat, matching up the old with the new is imperative. Our Boat Parts, Marine Hardware, and Original Equipment

page provides links to many boat parts manufacturers. But before making any purchases, we recommend matching up part numbers or reaching out to the manufacturer directly to make sure the gift fits the bill.

5. Boating Pet Pack - Is your Dad a bit bummed when he leaves his dog locked up in the house to go boating? If so, a boating pet pack that makes bringing your pet out on the water easy could make a marvelous gift. A dog life jacket, collapsible water bowl, and some “puppy pads” make boating with that pup a breeze.

6. Boat Club Membership - Even if you already have a boat in the family, gifting Dad a boat club membership can be a great move—especially if he spends a lot of time on the road. Boat clubs allow you to schedule the use of a boat where and when it’s convenient, so you can get out on the water if there’s some downtime during a business trip or when you’re traveling on vacation. Most of the major boat clubs have locations nationwide and sometimes even internationally. So, while Dad may love the boat you already have, a boating club is a great way to help him expand his horizons.

And if there isn’t already a boat in the family, boat clubs are a way to dip a toe into the lifestyle before jumping in head over heels.

7. A New Boat - Okay, we admit it; this is a pretty extreme gift. But hey—what present could top a new boat? Nothing! To give the ultimate gift, visit our Boat Finder and start shopping.

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD FLOTILLA 7-16 OFFERS SAFE BOATING CLASSES IN GULFPORT, FL, MEETS THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH. These classes qualify the attendee for the FWC Safe Boating Card. This card is required for most people born after January 1, 1988 to legally operate a power boat with greater than 10hp motor in Florida. The one-day class includes instruction on safety equipment, boat handling, rules of the road, navigation aids, communications, trailering, legal requirements and others. Power and sailboats are covered, as well as personal watercraft. Of course, besides making a boater in compliance, the main goal of the class is to create a safer boater. Classes are offered on the second Saturday of each month. To sign up, contact Marty Richardson at (630)674-5352. Flotilla 7-16 also performs free courtesy vessel safety inspections for power and sail boats, personal watercraft, and paddle craft. The inspector will come to your location, inspect the required safety features of your vessel, and if you pass will provide a safety sticker to mount on your vessel. The inspection is a courtesy, so no action is taken if problems are found. But the vessel owner then knows of any deficiencies to correct before having an accident or being sanctioned by the Coast Guard. To get more information or to schedule an inspection, contact Howard Bush at (305)731-3580.

Anyone interested is invited to attend.

Contact Flotilla Commander Howard Bush for more information at (305)731-3580.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent

organization is available at www.usps.org.

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Rick Grassett Tarpon should be plentiful in the coastal gulf this month as big schools of fish migrate along our beaches. Also look for cobia, tripletail and false albacore (little tunny) in the coastal gulf. Catch and release snook fishing should also be good in and around passes and in the surf. Fishing should also be good on deep grass flats for a variety of species.

Tarpon fishing should be strong this month as schools of fish increase in size and numbers. They will head off shore to spawn close to new and full moons. Set up in travel lanes along the beach at first light in the morning and cast live crabs, baitfish, DOA Baitbusters and Swimming Mullet to them. I travel well offshore along the beach in the morning to avoid disturbing schools of tarpon that may be traveling close to the beach. Once you’ve reached the area you intend to fish, ease into the beach with an electric trolling motor and set up in your spot. You can anchor or drift, depending on conditions. Give other anglers several hundred yards of space.

Since fish may be moving both north and south, setting up too close to another angler may negatively affect their fishing. Tarpon fishing is very dependent on conditions and there are a lot of variables that need to come together to be successful.

Use tackle heavy enough to land them as quickly as possible. When fly fishing, I use 12-weight rods and large arbor reels capable of holding 300-yards or more of backing. I use a variety of baitfish, shrimp or crab fly patterns fished on floating fly lines. The shallower the water, the easier it is to get your fly in front of a fish when fly fishing. Stake out or anchor in travel lanes to get shots at them.

When spin fishing, I usually drift a couple of live baits under a float while we wait for tarpon schools to pass by. Blind casting with DOA Baitbusters or Swimming Mullet, if you’re in the right spot, can also be productive when fish are moving past you but not showing well on the surface. The CAL 4” Shad Tail/ Swimbait with a heavy weedless hook is also be a good tarpon bait, especially when sight fishing.

should snook in

www.TheMariner.com

West Central Florida You may find trout, Spanish mackerel, bluefish or pompano in passes or on deep grass flats this month. I like to drift deep grass flats and cast ahead of my drift with CAL jigs and shad tails or jerk worms or DOA Deadly Combos. Fly anglers should score by drifting and casting ahead of the drift with Ultra Hair Clouser flies tied on long shank hooks on an intermediate sink tip fly line. You’ll need to add a few inches of heavy (40 or 50-pound) fluorocarbon when toothy fish are in the mix. Trout regulations in southwest Florida are a bag limit of 3 fish per person and a 6 fish boat limit. Trout must be from 15”-19” with one allowed per vessel over 19”. In my opinion it’s important to protect larger trout, which are usually female breeders.

Full regulations and details for all species can be viewed at https:// myfwc.com/ .

the surf, in passes and around docks and bridges in the ICW near passes. You can walk the beach and sight fish them in the surf with fly or spinning tackle. Small baitfish fly patterns, CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms or DOA shrimp should all work well. The same lures and flies that work in the surf will also work well at night.

Snook will congregate in passes around the new and full moons to spawn. They will usually be in deep channels in these areas. Bouncing a DOA TerrorEyz or Baitbuster in bridge channels or passes can be an effective technique in these areas.

Fishing for reds should also be good in June. Look for them over shallow grass along mangrove shorelines or around oyster bars when the tide is high. You’ll find them in potholes or edges of flats when the tide is low.

Top water plugs will work well, especially early in the day. I like to cover water with CAL jigs and shad tails or jerk worms to find them.

Fly anglers should score with baitfish fly patterns like my Grassett Flats Minnow.

THE Florida MARINER #1038 / 1 June 2025

In addition to tarpon look for Spanish mackerel, false albacore, cobia and tripletail in the coastal gulf this month. Although none of them may be thick, I’ve encountered all of them before in June. Keep your eyes open for bird activity or “breaking” fish to find albies and mackerel.

Cobia and tripletail may be found around crab trap floats; however I’ve seen cobia swimming with tarpon schools before. Medium spinning tackle and a DOA Shrimp or CAL jig will get the job done for all of them, although your tarpon tackle would also work well for a big cobia. An 8 or 9-weight fly rod with a floating or clear sink tip fly line is adequate to catch everything except a big cobia, in which case your 12-weight tarpon fly tackle will work well.

There are lots of options in inshore waters or the coastal gulf this month. If pulling on a 100-pound tarpon isn’t for you, fishing pressure is usually light inshore this month so snook, reds, trout and more should also be good options. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by industrial, agricultural and residential runoff, toxic spills and discharges, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

with Captain Mike Schulze On Saturday, May 24, 2025, the Reel Blessed Chapter of Fishing’s Future held our 3rd event of the year at Indian Riverside Park. This event is one of my favorites, as it is a saltwater event.

We had 37 participants registered, as well as 12 volunteers signed up, so it was bound to be a great day.

I loaded the car on Friday evening, so we are ready to go and less likely to forget anything.

Tania and I were up bright and early on Saturday morning and arrived at Billy Bones by 7:00 a.m., where I picked up the bait for our event. It was nice of Billy Bones to set aside 20 dozen shrimp to ensure we had enough bait for our event.

Tania needed to pick up the food from Fit Fixn’s at 10:00 am, so she headed home after we unloaded the car to ensure an on-time pickup. We arrived at Indian Riverside Park at about 7:30 am. To start setting up. Since we were using the pavilions at the park and didn’t have to set up our canopy and tables, it took only 30 minutes to prepare for the families to arrive. FWC Officer Peters also joined us at the event. I feel it’s good to have the first interaction with law enforcement under favorable circumstances.

Since we only had 17 participants, we delayed the start time by about 10 minutes to see if more would arrive. At 9:10 am, we opened our event with a prayer. I then introduced the Reel Blessed Chapter of Fishing’s Future and shared our mission, since this was nearly everyone’s first event with the Reel Blessed Chapter of Fishing’s Future. Introducing all our volunteers.

I then discussed our sponsors so that the families would know who was responsible for helping make this event

possible at no charge to them.

Once we had finished the introductions and discussed water safety, I divided the families into groups and then sent them to their respective stations. Because it was getting very hot and humid, we abbreviated our stations to get fishing before everyone became too hot and tired.

We spent the next hour preparing the families for their fishing expedition. We finished up all the stations around 10:00 a.m. Next, we gathered all the families and provided them with the ground rules for fishing on the pier.

At this point, all the families and the volunteers went fishing.

All the families seemed to enjoy fishing, even though the fish weren’t biting. I could tell the heat was starting to get to the families, so I told everyone we would wrap it up at 11:30. This turned out to be a good decision, as right about 11:30 a.m., all the food was set up for lunch.

Overall, the fishing was slow. We only caught a handful of fish, mostly snapper, but we also had some extraordinary catches. One of the younger boys, who was autistic, landed a decent-sized blue runner on light tackle.

By the time the fishing was over, I was sad that most of the families had not caught anything, but they were all good sports and still had a great time.

Once we were all off the dock and back at the pavilions, I gathered the families to bless our meal. As with the other events, I asked if anyone would like to bless the

Summer Time! June offers fantastic fishing near Inlets, beaches, inter coastal and spillways. These areas will offer a plethora of species to target.

The inlets and beaches are great areas to target snook as they begin to spawn.

Local inlets will offer plenty of snook and tarpon target. Live baits Rapala x raps DOA C.A.L. 4” jerk baits excellent choices for snook. DOA Bait busters great bait for target snook along drop offs and channels. Be sure to check the tides and locate good current for best ares to hook up with snook.

Anglers targeting tarpon can expect fantastic action along the beaches and inside the inlets. Tarpon can be seen rolling on the surface early in the morning as the sun is rising. DOA Bait busters and DOA terror eyz, worked near the bottom will get the silver kings chewing. Be sure to work in front of tarpon pods leading the fish, this helps not to spook the pod of tarpon. Do this and you will get your drag screaming.

The docks, seawalls and drop offs will hold plenty of fish for anglers. Snook, tarpon, jacks, drum and tripletail can all be targeted. For fly fisherman this offers steady action as live chumming helps bring the predators boat side. Fly fishing is a blast and can be taught to novice anglers, whether it’s a 1 pound jack to a 20 pound tarpon, anglers can experience the thrill of fly fishing.

Treasure Coast meal. Carter, one of the boys, raised his hand and wanted to pray over the food! It’s great seeing the little ones get involved and be willing to pray before a crowd.

Fit Fixn’s provided us with an excellent and healthy meal. We had a salad, chicken, rice, and black bean vegetable melody. This was the third year we used Fit Fixin’s, and it was another big hit.

After lunch, we did a trash pick-up. We made it a little competition, and the top kid would get a prize. The kids were so excited to go pick up the trash. We picked up a lot of trash, and the winner received a Reel Blessed hat as well as a tackle bag. The rest of the kids got a hat.

We were happy to see the kids excited about cleaning up the environment.

We concluded our event in the same manner as we have all our other events. We asked the kids to thank the parent or guardian who brought them to the event, tell them they love them, and hug them. This is one of our favorite parts of the events. We even had a mother say she doesn’t hear that from her daughter often!

All in all, our event was a success, and we had many happy families. We would like to personally thank all our volunteers and sponsors, without whom we would not be able to serve our community. We are grateful to partner with all of you!

Heat is on and so is the bite for anglers inshore and nearshore. Longer days allow for anglers to target fish longer, morning and evening provide cooler temperatures.

Summer patterns for snook are in effect.

Passes, beaches, docks and mangrove shorelines are holding fish and bait. Bait schools great sign snook are in vicinity.

Live baits, DOA 3” shad tail and Rapala x raps go to baits.

Tarpon fishing is heating up! Silver kings are roaming channels, sea walls and beaches. Anglers can have great success targeting tarpon on both sides of tide using live baits. Artificial enthusiasts DOA terror eyz and Rapala x raps great baits to get the silver kings striking.

Schooling Jack crevalle are crashing boat schools along mangroves and docks. The jacks are ranging in size from 1 to 20 pounds. Jacks will strike live bait and DOA shad tail Rapala skitter walks.

Sharks are abundant following the schools of jacks, anglers enjoy the drag screaming runs sharks provide.

Black tips, bulls, lemons and nurse sharks are willing to eat.

Well that is the fishing report, hope you all enjoyed.

Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!
